1 INTRODUCTION
This document is a Users' Guide, written for the person designing-in, connecting and using the
Able Systems A104SB printer controller board for the EPSON M-160 series of 4-needle mini-
printer mechanisms. Please read it carefully before making any connection. The A104SB is
an enhanced replacement for the A160B series of controller boards, and shares many
features of the range. Every effort has been made to simplify the transition for existing
customers, but of necessity some of the connections are slightly different.
Throughout this document, the designation A160B can generally be taken to represent the
A150B, A160B, A163B, A164B, and national variants of these products.
